Is there a "beginners" forum?? Not necessarily inside of this one, but anywhere out there in the e-swim world that you guys can recommend? You guys are really nice and helpful and I want to continue to be able to post here. I just would like to communicate with some more beginners like myself, if that's possible.
Thanks,

hoffam, thanks for those great words. I am breathing only to my right. Lead r arm, l arm follow, r arm & breathe. It's probably just what you said, I am working so hard and so non-efficient. I can feel that. My coach says I'm thinking too much about it, but that in itself is very hard not to do. I won't say I"m athletice per se, but I am focused and intent. I'm a pretty decent runner. I'll keep working on and eventually, I'll get it.
If it were quick and easy....then everyone would be freestyle swimmers! ;)
As for the forum, yes I have read many posts and I see no signs of arrogance like typical of some boards. Everyone here is helpful and experienced and nice mentors.
Thanks,
Mark
